My thought for today is Tolerance. Webster's dictionary defines tolerance as the readiness to allow others to think, believe and act as they see fit. It does not say I have to like what they do nor even agree that it is proper. I try to live my life by certain principles. As long as what they believe in or what they are doing is not harming myself or others, then I should accept that their principles are just different than mine. I do not need to change external events nor control other people in order to maintain my own peace. As the big book reminds me, love and tolerance of others is our code.
